The tour will also build off the success Tech N9ne's Strange Music has generated in the past few years. Tech N9ne's "Fragile" single was named DJ Booth's 2014 Best Indie Hip Hop song. In addition to his staggering tour prowess, the Kansas City rapper has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Revolt TV, Skee TV, MTV Jams, and BET's 106 & Park in the past two years. Tech had the biggest radio hit of his career last year, with "Hood Go Crazy," featuring 2 Chainz and B.o.B., hitting the Top 10 at rhythmic radio.

While other artists have struggled to make an impact with their music, Tech N9ne thrived in 2015. Upon its release in May 2015, Tech N9ne's Special Effects debuted as the #2 Rap album, #3 R&B/HipHop album, #3 Indie album, and #4 album on the Top 200 chart. In November, Strangeulation 2, the latest in the Tech N9ne Collabos series, debuted as the #1 Rap, R&B/HipHop, and Indie album in the country. It was also #13 on the Top 200 chart. Tech N9ne also was the only truly independent artist to appear on Forbes' Cash Kings 2015: The World's Highest Paid Hip-Hop Acts and he celebrated the Kansas City Royals' World Series win with the release of the revered "KCMO Anthem."
